A new discovery for us: the kitchen sink was draining slowly, so I assumed I was going to need to disassemble all the pipes and clean them out. (A normal occurrence that happens occasionally) but we went out to jersey Mike's and got a sub. With that the giant drink that comes with it.. (close to 20-30 ounce diet coke) which were filled before going back home.
We didn't
Drink any more, so it got poured down the kitchen sink... and presto, sink now drains like new.
So diet coke seems to be a good drain dissolver for whatever is coating those pipes.

That's good to know! And it's been hypothesized that plumbing problems increased dramatically in New York City when Mayor Michael Bloomberg banned 7-11 from selling the Big Gulp, the double Big Gulp and the Super Big Gulp.
Ha, that's funny
Enjoy your long weekend even if you are already retired like I am!
Are you referring to his G.I. pipes?So what's the Diet Coke doing to your Pipes !
Yes sir. Anything that will eat rust off of metal can't be healthy to drink!
So, 2 days ago, the other half was complaining about her slow draining bathroom sink. I had 3/4 gallon of white vinegar, but bought it to finally clean the drip coffee maker. I figured I'd kill 2 birds with one stone. I ran the vinegar through the coffee maker, until it came out boiling hot. I used the last of my baking soda (about 1/2 a box), pouring it down the bathroom drain. I then used the hot vinegar and poured it down the bathroom sink. The solution just stayed in the sink, bubbling like crazy. After about 15 minutes, the drain was free. I then had to run fresh water through the coffee pot and once done, I poured this hot water down her drain, and there was no slowing at all. G/F was impressed that I cleaned both her coffee maker and her sink drain, while she was playing "Drunko-Bunko" at her church friend's house.
I received a bonus pat on my head for thinking outside the box.

Nice puppy! Good doggie!!
My wife just informed me what’s for dinner tonight. She said chicken hearts and duck tongues. I protested saying I wanted lark tongues in aspic but she said that’s being planned for tomorrow.
Be careful what you wish for, she will load you up with creepy looking seafood! LOL
I hear you! The chicken hearts were okay. The duck tongues were little more than a bone covered in mucus. It’s no wonder ducks can only quack!
Gross
I forget the name of it, but they are fermented unborn baby chicks still in the egg. Super Nasty Gross X10 !
Indeed. Just a couple of days ago they were priced at $20 per pound:
Balut eggs I think. Yes, we've tried them.I forget the name of it, but they are fermented unborn baby chicks still in the egg. Super Nasty Gross X10 !
You people are nuts to eat that stuff , when there is much better choices. 20/ pound... give me a steak or even chicken pot pie... I'd even rather have a pb and j ...
Gross gross gross
I don’t disagree.
I have a Native American ( Indian ) friend from OK who is up in his late 70's now. He would always tell me and giggle while saying it. You know, you can eat snake, but why when there is so many other better things out there to eat! LOL
